four key swing states, those being minnesota, nevada, new hampshire and wisconsin. biden is currently beating the performance of secretary of state hillary clinton during the 2016 presidential election. the times notes in their report that the president's continued attacks on the former vice president joe biden on law and order may not be working. joining me now from las vegas are msnbc political reporter vaughn hillyard and deepa shivaram. with a welcome to you both. trump today, vaughn, with what we just saw in this new poll, what is the campaign trying to pleasure this weeke accomplish this weekend in nevada? >> reporter: when you look at that poll, we've been giving a lot of attention to the midwest. you have to remember, not only was new hampshire a narrow victory for hillary clinton, but right here in nevada as well. and you see there's a four-point advantage for joe biden right now, but the donald trump

campaign remembers four years ago when he lost by just 27,000 votes here. he's going to be making a stop in reno before coming to las vegas. the backdrop of the coronavirus and the health impact it's had but also the economic impact. if you're in the heart of las vegas, 152,000 individuals are still unemployed, who had been working in february, before covid hit this greater nevada area. and i should note, more than 1,400 nerve add camerans have died today of covid-19. i want to introduce to you nurse tony stockman. i met up with the nurse, nevada native, asking her about covid and the president's decision to come into town. this is what she told me. when you heard president trump say he was intentionally downplaying the severity of the virus, what did you hear? >> i heard that i don't matter, my family doesn't matter, these

lives that are dying unnecessarily don't matter. and i don't know. that's all i heard. i mean, chills went up my spine i got goosebumps. i was angry. i was very angry that he is still allowing, you know, not taking initiative, taking the leadership that he should have in the beginning. >> reporter: those audio recordings, alex, between bob woodward and president trump as you just heard from nurse toni are echoing in the desert of nevada. i caught up with her just as she was heading out for her overnight shift, 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift. just two nights ago she lost two more patients on her floor at the local hospital to covid. this is a pandemic. as you heard her say, it is still very real and there is still an unemployment rate of 14% here. and one other challenge for

president trump, as deepa knows all too well, democrats had their caucus this year and were here consistently. that's where president trump has to make up his message and has to make up that four-point edge for joe biden here in the state, alex. >> listening to that interview from that woman, a hospital nurse. i mean, you can only imagine how she must feel, having heard what the president told bob woodward for that interview for the book. thank you, vaughn. we look forward to talking to you again. let's get news from deepa on this "new york times"/sienna college poll. is it good news for biden? is the campaign talking about that? >> reporter: alex, let's talk a look at this poll very quick. they are in favor of joe biden. the lead is only slight. in nevada, joe biden up by four points, minnesota up by nine. new hampshire up by three and wisconsin up by five in this latest "new york times"/sienna poll. the margin of error is 3.9 to

5.5%. some of these leads that joe biden has is within that marnl of error, which is important to point out. if you zoom back and look at how the joe biden campaign has been talking about their strategy going into these next eight weeks, these 52 days until election day, they've always acknowledged that these numbers are going to be close, that this is going to be a tight race. if you look at what voters are resonating with when it comes to joe biden's leadership, they think of him as more of a leader than trump on issues like handling the pandemic, on racial tensions, handling these protests. this idea, like you mentioned at the top of the show, that trump's rhetoric of being a law and order candidate is not sticking with voters thus far. that's what we're seeing in these numbers. you can expect the joe biden campaign to look into that a little bit more and use a little bit of that rhetoric. when it comes to handling the pandemic, alec, we've seen how the biden campaign has used this language of highlighting how president trump doesn't have a plan when it comes to handling

this public health crisis. and it's something that they're even including in ads that came out today. they have new spanish language ads that are going out in florida which, of course, is a state that is crucial in this election. and right now, trump and biden are actually neck and neck. that's something that should be concerning for democrats, alex, given how much hillary clinton won that state in 2016 and right now the numbers, especially with latino voters, are extremely close. we do see a little bit of the biden/harris ticket, making sure they're focusing on latino voters. you see that with these spanish ads coming out today, highlighting how trump doesn't have a plan when it comes to the pandemic. on the other side of the ticket, we're seeing kamala harris later this afternoon doing a virtual event in arizona where she'll be speaking with latino small business owners and talking about how the pandemic has impacted them. >> great setup. i'll be talking with representative from florida in a

minute. thank you, deepa. >> white house officials say the president will be visiting california on monday for a briefing on the record-breaking wildfires there. and in just this last hour, joe biden released a statement saying, quote, the science is clear, and deadly signs like these are unmistakablunmistakab. climate change poses an imminent, existential threat to our way of life. president trump can try to deny that reality but the facts are undeniable. it's not just california battling an historic fire season as we take a look at this map that's raging across the west coast. one of the largest fires is the bobcat fire in the angeles national forest. it has scorched more than 26,000 acres. still, only 6% contained. the north complex fire also burning in the angeles national forest covers roughly 250,000 acre, that one 23% contained.

and the oregon fires have a half million people either evacuated or waiting evacuation orders. officials in all three states fear mass fatalities with many people still unaccounted for. these record-setting fires creating terrible air quality across the west coast. at least 20 people have died. california's governor has now signed a bill, making it easier for inmates to become firefighters. my colleague, scott co hn, is joining me from berry creek, 90 miles south of sacramento. as we understand it, 2600 inmates are qualified to work there along the fire lines with firefighters. when will that happen? when will they be deployed? and talk about the conditions, what they're like right there at this hour. >> reporter: sure, alex. the inmates are being deployed. the legislation that governor new some signed will allow them, ultimately, to have their records expunged so that they

can become full-time firefighters when they complete their sentences. resources are stretched. they need anything that they can get. that will help. i'm in berry creek. this is what's left of the elementary school. it's a town of about 500 people. this northern complex fire really, unfortunately, and tragically, made short work of it. much of the town is gone. some of them are cause bid downed power lines, some by lightning. the message from governors as you were alluding to before is that this is climate change. if you don't believe it, this is the tragic proof. >> deny science all you want. you can't deny your own eyes, your own lived experience. and people here have lived their experience as acutely as any other community in the united states of america. what we're experiencing is historic on top of historic on top of historic, record on top

of record on top of record. that suggests a pattern. that suggests something has happened to the plumbing of the world. climate change is here. >> reporter: indeed, by the numbers, the fire seasons in california, to the extent that there's a season anymore, are getting worse and worse and worse every year. more than 3 million acres burned thus far. alex, as you know, the normal peak of the fire season is still about a month away. >> yeah. and it's not a season anymore. it is spanning at least two, actually rolling into three seasons in the state of california every year. thank you very much, scott cohn. let go back to decision 2020 and the key battleground state that joe biden visits tuesday, florida. he leads there in some state polls but appears to be underperforming among latino voters. latest marist poll shows he is trailing trump. joining me now, debbie powell,

member of the house judiciary committee. awfully good to see you again. thank you for joining me on a weekend here, congresswoman. are you surprised by these numbers, are you concerned about them? and how critical is biden's visit there tuesday? >> hi, alex. thank you for having me. i'm not completely surprised. we saw that the donald trump campaign early on has been spending millions of dollars here in the state of florida, targeting latino voters, really spreading misinformation, making false attacks against democrats, and they've been focusing on this state for quite some time. i think we have 52 days ahead of us. the biden/harris ticket has really focused on doing quite a bit of outreach here in the state of florida. just last week, senator harris, i helped to launch her --

[ speaking foreign language ] -- firm. they've been providing interviews to local channels, local spanish television channels, radio stations and they will continue to do that. i'm excited to see that vice president joe biden is visiting this state on tuesday. i think we have still a lot of work to do. but i do know that when it comes to the latino vote what's important for us is to have a choice in november, someone that's going to provide a plan to contain this virus, to provide the opportunities that so many of us come to america looking for. people in my community, alex, i can tell you, are hurting. they have lost their jobs. they have lost their loved ones, and this president has lied to them. and when the president lies, it costs lives. >> so, with just these 52 days, how confident are you that they can turn these numbers around and improve upon them? >> well, you know, they have key

leadership in the campaign here locally in the state of florida, who are latinos, who understand what they need to do. i know that they already are spending money, communicating, providing that message, that choice to our hispanic community down here. i think we can move a pretty significant number, you know. a lot of those polls are showing that many hispanics are still undecided, and many of them don't quite know joe biden yet. and so his word, and his focus, which i see they're working on, we're a rich and diverse community here in florida. and his plans to provide better-paying jobs, making sure that we have quality health care, that everyone can have access to. working on the environment, alex. you were just reporting, i have

family texting me from california. i have dear friends in oregon. a presidency under joe biden will take immediate action on that. we cannot wait. those are the issues that are important to all of us, whether we're hispanic, african-american or asian-american, it doesn't matter. we're all paying attention to those proposals and what policies joe biden is going to provide. >> of course. immigration also being an issue that is important within the latino community. let me ask you about some criticism that the president -- pardon me shall the former vice president has gotten with the addition of former obama administration official cecilia munoz, saying that she too often defended immigration policies that led to the deportation of more than 2 million people. are you concerned about this addition to the biden team? >> i have full confidence that the presidency under joe biden and senator of kamala harris, a daughter of immigrants, who understands what immigrants are looking for from this

administration, that vision will be implemented. i have had conversations where i know that on day one, president joe biden would pass the dreamer act. it's a bill we passed in the judiciary committee last year, and the senate republicans have done absolutely nothing to move on that. that's a critical issue. and i know that he's 100% against family separation. as you know, alex, we had a detention center here with almost 3,000 children. many of them who had been separated from their families. and senator harris came and visited that center with me. so i can tell you i have full confidence in joe biden, kamala harris and making sure that we provide a pathway to citizenship for dreamers, that we stop family separations and that we provide a humane policy for immigrants seeking asylum. >> in terms of people getting the word out, have you heard any concern about cecilia munoz? have you heard the criticism at all? >> actually, i have not. and apparently this appointment is recent, but i have not.

as you can imagine, i am also very busy doing a lot of work here not just for my community, but getting ready for re-election. i haven't seen any comments from that. >> yeah, a community that you represent, a beautiful one, i might add. >> yes. >> also in florida there. >> one of the most beautiful. >> absolutely. >> in the florida state. >> i've visited it. >> you have to come visit. >> i will, when i'm allowed to travel with more ease. let me ask you about the polls that are out there. granted, 52 days to go. it is early. there are some who say, you know what? we learned a lesson in 2016. how much attention are you paying to the polls right now? how much would you advise, were you on the biden team to pay attention to these polls right now? >> we have to pay attention to everything. we can't underestimate anything that is happening. we're living through unprecedented times in such an extreme health and economic crisis down here. i can tell you one thing that i think is very interesting and

it's important to know. in 2016 you had senator marco rubio who was running for president, who denounced donald trump as a con artist, as a con man. those words weighed heavily here in the hispanic community. now he has done a complete turnaround. that's part of the reason why you see cuban americans solidifying with donald trump, which is really unfortunate. what the republicans in the senate have done is really become complicit, following the line under this president who has lied to the american people on covid. and it has really been damaging to the state of florida. governor desantis following the same line, not providing us with the data. failing to lead by following the advice of public health experts here in the state of florida. and i think that those are going to be extremely important issues when november 3rd comes along. >> debbie mucarsel-powell, thank

you. >> thank you. >> at least one part of his remarks caught the ear of an nbc news reporter. we'll tell you what that was next. we'll tell you what that was next le in the books. got to hand it to you, jamie. your knowledge of victorian architecture really paid off this time. nah, just got lucky. so did the thompsons. that faulty wiring could've cost them a lot more than the mudroom. thankfully they bundled their motorcycle with their home and auto. they're protected 24/7. mm. what do you say? one more game of backgammon?

welcome to you. what part of the giuliani interview that you listened to this morning, what part caught your attention? >> reporter: alex, the fact that rudy giuliani will not say whether he discussed with president trump his interactions with a russian agent raises profound questions about whether the president is, once again, soliciting russian help for his election campaign. there's a real echo of 2016 here. in 2016, president trump's campaign chairman paul manafort was regularly meeting with a russian intelligence agent. now the president's lawyer having met with andrii derkach who has been named by the treasury department, state department and intelligence community as not only a russian agent but an agent conspiring to interfere in the 2020 election and rudy giuliani has met with him and will not say whether he discussed that with trump. and that is a huge deal. i think president trump should answer for that. you know, the fact that the

intelligence community has called out this guy is also a really interesting thing. donald trump's previous director of national intelligence was fired because an aide of his went to congress and informed him that classified intelligence suggested russians wanted donald trump to win. it must be pretty bad if they're all saying publicly this guy is trying to help the russians interfere in the election. and yet here rudy giuliani was meeting with this guy. i think there's more to hear about this story. >> which means you will come back when we learn more about it. ken dilanian, thank you very much. the president headed to nevada today, a state that he hopes to flip in november. thises as new polling shows that trump is trailing biden in four states, including nevada. the former vp leads trump by nine points in minnesota, three

in new hampshire. senior political reporter for "the guardian." good to see you both. daniel, what do you make of this new polling? >> i mean, look, it shows that not only that this race is tightening, but that republicans, at least, feel they have something that they can use to close the margin with. and this is something i've been hearing from republicans and democrats over the past week, who have been saying, look, law and order is something that could be a decisive issue in these midwestern states. they say that they aren't sure if it will catapult the president into the lead but is definitely something that statewide candidates can run on at this point because of the protests and because of the damage that some states and communities have felt because of them. >> so, tessa, this is all coming after weeks of trump attacking biden. and it's not the first poll suggesting that his law and order messaging is having a bit of a hard time resonating.

do you think he's going to adjust or do you think we'll hear more of this tonight? >> well, president trump has been pretty consistent in his law and order messaging, in terms of fear mongering about violence coming to the suburbs. i think he's really sort of latched on to that to try to win back some of these suburban voters, particularly suburban women who helped to lift him to victory last time. polls show they've been going a bit to biden. at least anecdotally, for every person you talk to who seems swayed while he has been consistent in warning about violence coming to the suburbs, he has been inconsistent in how he has attacked biden. right now he's attacking joe biden being soft on crime. it wasn't too long ago he and

his campaign were calling biden an architect of mass incarceration because of his work on the crime bill. in other words, too tough on crime. they isn't quite settled on a message there either. >> point well taken there. logistically, tessa, tonight's rally was hastily put together because of the size control issues. do you anticipate that the trump campaign will run into more roadblocks like this moving forward? how would that ultimate alter the president's campaign strategy? we know he loves those big campaign rallies. >> this weekend is instructive to look at how the next couple of months might play out. these events were canceled because of covid restrictions and the campaign basically said no, we're going to go ahead with them anyway. they're still going to hold these large in-person events. i think it shows, as you point out, some of these races like nevada are tightening. the campaign sees an opportunity there and it shows that they'll

see those opportunities through the enthusiasm that they can generate through these rallies, which have always been president trump's preferred campaigning method. and i think it shows that they're not going to adjust course. this is really how they plan on e ending the campaign. >> the trip to nevada and arizona as part of the campaign's push to pick up the states out west, how practical is that, daniel, and how confident is the campaign in this strategy? >> it's obviously not an ideal position that the trump administration wants to be in, but it is the situation that they are in, nonetheless. we've seen significant gains for democrats in western states like colorado, and especially arizona this year. and so to an extent, republicans have to play defense right now and have to focus more on those sunbelt states than they would otherwise like to, where they would prefer to just hammer their opponents in the midwest. >> daniel, there's new reporting from politico that says

democrats are building a significant edge and some early voting in key battleground states. in north carolina and pennsylvania, democrats have a roughly three-to-one advantage over republicans in absentee ballot requests. in florida, a must-win for trump, the democratic lead in ballot requests, while the party also leads in new hampshire, ohio and iowa. are there more democrats turning out this year, or the emphasis around voting by mail and voting early during this pandemic is just resonating more with democrats? >> yeah, it's exactly that. what it shows is that on election night we're going to have a weird disparity where the expectation is that a lot of democratic votes will come by vote by mail and a lot of the republican votes will be in-person. so there will be some lag time.

americans are used to the bulk of the results coming in through in-person voting. the lion's share for democratic votes looks like they will be through voting by mail and absentee votes. >> tessa, is the white house at all discussing that potential for election night? we've seen it play out. axios wrote about it in detail as did other locations, about how potentially there's a huge red block of states going for the president because of the lack of mail-in ballots having been counted fully at that point. will the president claim victory? how will they be able to pair that down in people's minds like hold on, everybody? are they going to do that? >> right. sure. we've seen president trump, for days and weeks now, cast doubt on mail-in voting and warn about voter fraud. i think it's pretty clear that we're heading into a situation, which it seems like we are, where we are going to know the

results in as timely a fashion as we typically do, president trump will capitalize on that and try to sow doubt and, yes, he has been saying that his votes will come in later. because of that, i think what you were talking about, the advantages from democrats so far in the early voting and mail-in ballot requests are not that surprising in the fact that president trump is banking on an in-person voting and does not want his voters to use vote by mail. what we know about the future of the astrazeneca trials. astrazeneca trials and the peace of mind of knowing that important things like your prescriptions, and ballots, are on their way. every day, all across america, we'll keep delivering for you. they're going to be paying for this for a long time.

september in college campuses typically means football games and packed stadiums. it will look very different

during the pandemic. for other schools today marks the first day of a season with all-new restrictions. morgan chesky is joining us live outside of texas memorial stadium in austin. what is today's game going to be like for the fans, morgan? >> reporter: alex, it certainly is going to look a lot different. the big 12, one of those power five conferences that has decided to go ahead and proceed with a shortened football season, and for the athletes here at the university of texas, that means being tested three times a week for covid before they take the field. for the fans, that means the students have to be mandatory tested before they go inside the stadium. and it's a stadium that's capped at just a fraction of its total capacity. all of those steps the school is hoping makes things just a bit safer come this game time. college football pulling an audible to keep the season intact, while facing rising

questions on covid-19. >> i'm just glad we have football back in general. >> reporter: at the university of texas, the pandemic plan mandates student testing, caps stadium capacity at 25,000, cancel the longhorn's band experience and making sure everyone, including players on the sidelines, mask up. >> it will give us more peace of mind, knowing that everyone tested negative in the stadium. hopefully i test negative. >> reporter: in north carolina, the state's secretary of health signing off on football games but not allowing parents of the players to attend. the concern? recent covid spikes in college communities. >> we are watching that very closely, particularly in these college towns. we're encouraging everyone in those settings to get tested. >> reporter: now new studies show lingering effects of covid. the general of the american medical association finding evidence of heart damage in 15% of recovered athletes. >> there's no right option. there's only a best option.

and it feels like. >> reporter: after 900 students and 16 staff tested positive, today's home game brings more pressure than just wenting. >> a lot of people have been looking forward to something that at least comes back to some normalcy, but we're going to do it in a safe way. >> reporter: while teams in the big 12 will be taking the field today, both the pac-12 and big 10 have decided to postpoen their seasons until the spring. however, that said, the chancellors and presidents of big 10 schools are reportedly meeting. alex, they could very well hold a revote on reinstating the fall season and bringing football back. we'll be watching that very closely. >> i bet. but when you've got statistics that, what, 15% of those athletes have heart issues? they better consider that before they bring these things back. thank you very much, morgan chesky. appreciate it. breaking news on the coronavirus pandemic.

astrazeneca's vaccine trial at oxford was reinstated today after a participant developed a neurological rare disorder. dr. ashby, welcome back to the broadcast. good to see you, sir. so this medicine, the medicine health regulatory authority did investigate this and deemed this trial safe to continue. what is your reaction to astrazeneca picking things up? >> so, definitely, i'm actually -- i feel good about it, actually, because this indicates that they're following the trial protocols. so every trial has safety and efficacy end points and measures you have to abide by. if there's anything that occurs that is an anomaly for instance, meaning something you don't expect, you want to investigate it and make sure it's not related to the vaccine itself. the fact that they stopped the trial, investigated this particular issue and determined

it was not associated with the virus -- i'm sorry, associated with the vaccine, is very reassuring. science matters. you want to make sure you go through a rigorous process to make sure there's no association between the vaccination or any drug for that matter, and an adverse event. >> and you're okay with the fact that it just took a couple of days to investigate this and pick things back up in this short of period of time? >> again these trials have predetermined end points and safety efficacy measures. as long as they followed that, which is something that i don't know because i'm not privy to the internal documentation on how they conduct the trial, but as long as they adhere to that and they release that information, i'm perfectly okay with them carrying forward the study, as long as they are adhering to the standard that we deem necessary to make sure that we're not placing the public in harm. >> okay. the person, the participant, we should say, who had these neurological symptoms were consistent with a spinal inflammatory disorder called

transverse myelitis. how rare is that? how often does someone contract something like this during a vaccine trial? >> during a vaccine trial, you'll have things that happen. the question is, is the event related to the vaccination? during phase three, you're included 30,000 patients. that's the target with astrazeneca. things that happened within that population, is it related to the vaccine? again, the data demonstrable body has protocols in place. science matters. follow protocols very safely f they're not, obviously, i'll be concerned. but that's why we professionals say release the information, release the data. let us see it, independently vet it and make sure there's no associations here. >> okay. dr. bernard ashby, that is

reassuring to speak with you. thank you very much, doctor. a crucial state that's not voted democratic since 1976. what are the chances it will go blue in november? that's next. go blue in november that's next. it's what we did with coogan's. you felt safe and, if you were safe, you could be joyful. everybody has a coogan's. and almost half those small businesses, they could close if people don't do something. we have to keep our communities together. that's how we get through this. ♪

was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. i can't fathom what would have happened if the insurance companies had the power to say, "the last few months, you're on your own." the fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. obamacare is personal to me. when i see the president of the united states try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a public health crisis, that's personal to me too. we've got to build on what we did because every american deserves affordable health care. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. ♪ eve♪ going faster than a closerollercoaster ♪ deserves affordable health care. ♪ love like yours will surely come my way ♪ ♪ a-hey, a-hey-hey [music playing] ♪ love like yours will surely come my way ♪

now to decision 2020. "new york times"/sienna college poll showing joe biden leading the president in nevada, minnesota, new hampshire and wisconsin. only in minnesota is biden's

lead wider than the margin of error. the communications director for the democratic national committee joins me now. good to see you again, sochi. let's get right into this. it seems promising for the biden camp. the president is headed there today. as we take a look at this number, and it was reported by "the nevada independent," the trump campaign reports 2 million attempted voter contacts in nevada this cycle, only includes doors knocked and phone calls made. so where does the dnc stand? is it matching these numbers? >> well, absolutely. the dnc will continue to reach out to voters, and the thing is that we're in a pandemic. right now, and especially as i'm home in my living room, a lot of voters don't want people to come knocking on their doors during a pandemic, but we're still reaching out to vetters. we are text messaging them, making sure we are calling them.

in we have a voter registration advantage, one thing that nbc news has reported on, voter registration advantage across the country when it comes to democrats and not only that, if you look at vote by mail and if you look at specifically folks who have registered to vote by mail and to have requested ballots, democrats are also leading had those efforts. our work continues. our tactics have changed because we're in a pandemic and we want to make sure we're keeping people safe. the work of reaching out to voters continues and it will continue until election day. >> i want to ask you about texas. you, in fact, are from texas. there's been a lot of buzz about democrats turning texas blue. a lot of people saying it's purple right now. isn't that sort of like republicans thinking they can win minnesota? is there logic to spending resources there? >> well, one thing that's heartening to see in texas is the work they've done over the last four years.

you saw beto o'rourke close the gap there in texas. if you could increase turnout of the latino community and in key places like the rio grande valley and san antonio and houston, you can definitely make a lot of progress. of course, it is an uphill battle. there is no doubt that republicans are also scared about texas, too. you continue to see donald trump and mike pence traveling to the state. that should be a state that is safely in the red corner. but the fact that republicans are worried about it just shows that the trends in texas, and the demographics in texas are really starting to go towards democrats. >> let's have a question or two about the addition of a former obama administration immigration official to the biden team. here is what a former dnc spokesperson told the hill. cecilia munoz is the one person besides stephen miller that has spent years of service to the

smooth execution of mass deportation policy at the west wing level. okay. controversy about her selection, weigh in on that. what are you hearing? >> i have to respectfully disagree. i know cecilia munoz. she has fought her entire career to make sure that is she is lifting up latino families, immigrant families. i want to remind you it's because of cecilia munoz's leadership we had daca. it's because of cecilia munoz's leadership that we had daca. she wanted to make sure we were lifting up the voices of immigrants. compared to what you see now, you cannot compare to what the obama administration did and their policies to help immigrants compared to what trump is doing and how he's keeping communities and kids in cages and separating families and mass deportation. i think one of the things that joe biden has made very clear is joe biden wants to make sure that if he is president that we are passing immigration reform. we all understand that our

immigration system is broken, and he wants to make sure that we're doing something about it. we need to do this in a bipartisan fashion. >> let's move on to kamala harris. as you well know, doing a virtual event in arizona this afternoon. the campaign released several spanish-language ads today. biden plans to visit florida on tuesday. is there a reason for the democrats, for you there in the dnc, to be nervous about the hispanic vote? >> well, we aren't taking it for granted. we can't just sit back and not invest in the community. of course we're investing in the community. one of the things i'm very proud of at the dnc under the first latino chair, tom perez, is that we've made sure for many, many months now that we are investing in the latino community. if you look specifically, and something that gets lost, at florida they've made major hires to build a broad coalition and to make sure that we have the most diverse staff but also the largest staff when it comes to the latino coalition in florida in the history of florida politics.

so, that is something that is very key. one thing you'll see kamala harris, she was not only in florida this last week, she will be traveling next week, making sure we're lifting up hispanic will also see joe biden travel to florida. i think this is really significant when it comes to the latino community as we particular off hispanic heritage month and we are this the race for the white house in the next 60 days is joe biden will be out there in the latino community because he understands he has to earn their vote. he will continue to talk to them. >> it is a busy time for you. thank you for joining me. much appreciated. back in business. the new rules for new york city's museums and land mashes as they open their doors for the first time in six months. time i. to lead the charge... good had to be amazing... and amazing had to become the expectation.

well, the 9/11 museum and memorial is one of several museums opening today for the first time in six months. visitors should expect a

different kind of experience in order to follow new covid-19 guidelines. cori kaufman is in manhattan w. a welcome to you, talk about the changes. what are they looking like? >> there is a number of specific changes. we have seen a lot of people out here today, alex. it is heartening to start to see this city come alive again in some of the most iconic spots around the city, including the 9/11 museum and memorial here. all right, restrictions include 25% capacity. people are screened as they go in for temp checks. they have of course have to wear their maskless. they have to keep their distance. there is a single flow inside the museum. typically when you get in there you can explore the grounds, our crew was able to get in there. now it is one stream of flow so there is no cross section of people crossing each other. capacity wise, they say they have got it all organized for all the folks who come out here, so there is a specific line that

you go in, and then of course folks can visit the grounds like normal. i spoke with the president and ceo of the 9/11 museum and memorial. about this whole thing, what it means for them to reopen as well as folks standing the line. listen. >> people should experience the power of memory, and the power of story telling without being concerned about their own safety. and i think everyone come in is here for that experience. >> i haven't felt, you know, panicky at all. procedures have been great. hand san sizer is always all over and they have been cleaning sectly. >>ological, alex, so far, so good on day one. let me give some folks out there usable information. they say go on line and get your tickets. you have to reserve them because of course they only have a limited amount and they are selling out quickly. very busy today, on day one. >> all i can say, having been there, a powerful place.
